Oh yeah, always save those Arbys sauces. Or if you can go in to say taco bell, buy a drink and just hang out for awhile - many of them keep the sauce packets out in the open. Obviously don't abuse it, but grab a few of them to take with you along with a couple napkins. The soda has sugar and calories and most are free refills, so if you're SUPER strapped it can at least give you something in your stomach technically.

And for those who don't know how to make biscuits it's really easy and you can make a dozen biscuits which is flour water salt and lard (or butter if you want to be fancy) For about a dollar if you using latd. If you use and butter it's going to be more like $3 for 12 biscuits. You very much and I also love spam and I am positive that I would love this with really finely chopped spam. Great job brother.

When milk prices are too high, I often would use 1 can of evaporated milk and then refill that can 2-3 times with water and add that instead of the pricy gallon milk. The only issue is more recently evaporated milk also rose heavily in price, but once it settles down again it's cheaper and shelf stable. Plus if you have kids in the house that you would rather give your gallon milk to, this saves on you making a store trip.

The military mostly makes this with ground beef, hasn't been with dried beef in decades.

When I don't have butter one can thicken milk with cornstarch too. Not as rich but when you're starving it fills the stomach.

Using the Buddig beef is genius. Not only is it less expensive but you don’t have to do any sort of soaking to get some of the salt out.
